Description

Not far from the M6 and the city of Birmingham is Cannock Chase in Staffordshire.  The Go Ape centre is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known as Birches Valley.

This has one of their largest treetop adventures, with the longest zip wires being 260 metres.

Cannock Chase also has the Forest Segway, so if heights are not your thing, try one of these. (Note that age and weight restrictions apply – you need to be within a certain weight range for the segways to balance). Or of course, give the TreeTop Adventure a try.

All harnessed up at Go Ape

We’ve been along to Go Ape at Cannock Chase and tried the excellent TreeTop Adventure course.

We highly recommend giving it a go if you have kids under 13.

Other things to do at Cannock Chase

Go Ape is actually located in the Birches Valley part of the Forestry Commission woodland. There’s lots of walks here, and when we visited, lots of activities for the kids along a woodland walk.

Bring a picnic or eat at the cafe, and make a day of it.

If you can bring bikes, Birches Valley also has a mountain biking course, so you could have a day of adventures.
